UFC 143 results: Dana White not opposed to Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit rematch

Raise your hand if you saw this one coming.
After the boo birds rained down last night (Sat., Feb. 4, 2012) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center after the judges awarded Carlos Condit a controversial unanimous decision victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 143 and crowned him the interim Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion, it was kind of hard not to.
After five rounds of pressing the action, Diaz was comfortable believing he had the fight wrapped up. But after the final bell rang and the judge's scorecards were tallied, it was determined Condit was the one who did enough to earn the nod.
Fight Metric reports would seem to back that up.
Along with winning the interim title, Condit also earned the right to face the 170-pound kingpin Georges St. Pierre, once he is deemed fit to return to action after rehabbing from knee surgery. However, should the French-Canadian's be out longer than expected, a rematch between Diaz and Condit certainly isn't far fetched.
Speaking at the UFC 143 post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White talked about a potential rematch between the two scrappy welterweights.
"I know (Georges. St. Pierre) wanted that Diaz fight bad, but it's not going to be Diaz so he better get angry with Carlos Condit or focus on Carlos Condit or whatever he needs to do. Carlos Condit won this fight. No matter how much Georges and Nick hate each other, Carlos Condit won, and I think the fans are mad at the way Carlos Condit fought. Too f*cking bad. He came in with a game plan and stuck to it and won. You know what's funny man, is that when he said that, I was thinking the same thing. It's crazy, but. I was thinking it after the fight. You know, people are bitching and thinking it was close or whatever, we can do that fight again before GSP comes back. It depends on Carlos too, he's really gotta say, and Nick's gotta say I want to fight him again too."
If the rematch does go down, it won't be a first for the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion.
After Lyoto Machida defended his UFC light heavyweight title against Mauricio Rua at UFC 104 in a very controversial decision, UFC officials immediately made a rematch between the two at UFC 113. "Shogun" made sure the second fight didn't go to the judges by knocking out "The Dragon" in the very first round to capture the title.
At UFC 112, B.J. Penn lost his 155-pound belt to Frankie Edgar in a very close fight. Officials once again ordered an immediate rematch at UFC 118, which saw "The Answer" yet again defeated "The Prodigy" via decision.
With Georges St. Pierre's return not expected until November of this year, it would mean a nine month wait for Condit. That's a long time to be on the shelf.
What do you say Maniacs, would the offer of a rematch with Condit be enough for Diaz to end his retirement talk? Should a rematch even be considered?
Opinions, please.

So lets say if Nick wins
they’d be 1-1 so then theyd need to have a 3rd right? Blah sod that, its boring let some new guys fight like Ellenberger and Hendricks. Not a fan of pointless rematches

It’s a good point about needing a tiebreaker if ND wins. But I would still like to see the rematch. Wonder what would happen if Nick refuses to chase him.

If they still want to do GSP vs Diaz
they could do a 175 non tile catchweight or something else

Wow didnt think of that, actually I wouldnt mind a 3rd match that is depending on how the 2nd one goes that is if there is a re match.

not really..
it would depend how nick wins. the way shogun ko’d machida didnt leave anyone calling for a 3rd fight. so if nick stopped him there would definitely not be a tie-breaker fight. also, because many folks would think diaz was up 2-0 just like i believe shogun is up 2-0 on machida.
If Nick wins
Doesn’t really matter if it’s 1-1. Diaz would be the new interim champ and he’ll get to fight GSP.

would u pick Diaz again Drew?
I think I would
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts

that fight deserves a rematch because the way i saw it nick won or if not it was a draw. but we all know the rematch wont happen this is just dana starting something he wont finish. diaz won and thats all that matters. condit can go off to get humped by gsp. i had said before they fought i didnt care who won becasue both guys are warriors and either guy could beat gsp. but after watching that condit is now an offical greg jackson memeber and he sucks. if htey fought again i dont see him doing anything else different. but diaz would push the pressure way more on him and wouldnt show him any respect if they fought again

That’s the comeback here? You’re just gonna refuse to acknowledge anything he says, resorting to “You said you moan during fights lololol”? That’s clever right there.

Fuck Carlos Starnes "The Natural Born Runner"
yup and we would see a lot of the bird being thrown towards carlos. diaz respected him too much and expected him to bang. ill say this diaz has great hands and pressure but his boxing isnt great because he doesnt have great footwork or any other part of boxing. so when these fucks say that boxing fans are pissed that diaz lost. well diaz isnt a boxer he just has good hands
Rematch required.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
I will stand as Starr788’s personal bodyguard for the next two weeks. If anyone has a problem with him, they have a problem with me. Expect me to fully uphold my end of this agreement
some people say it wasn't close.
it was a close fight, a very close and competitive fight. Condit won, I agree with the judges.
But it was a fight that neither man dominated the other. Haters be damned, both men deserve a chance to put the controversy to rest.

Possibility?
Im not a diaz fan infact I like condits fighting style over diaz. Both fighters are equal caliber, but I think diaz dominated rounds 1,2 and 5. I think the scoring system should be a little more complex when it comes to a decision ending. Head shots get more points than body and body shots count more than leg shots. It didnt seem like Diaz was hurting to much from Condits leg kicks. Although ill give it up to Condit he fought it smart but just not aggressive enough for me.

if a rematch happens then it goes to show
that if you cry/make excuses about a decision loss like Tito or Diaz, then you get your way
not really........
it’s all about the money. dana and the ufc wanted the big money match between gsp/diaz. if diaz won with controversy, mark my words, there would be zero talk of a rematch and gsp’s prognosis would better. and that’s coming from a gsp fan.
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
wtf
Am I missing something? Was this really that controversial?? I saw Diaz coming forward and getting punched/kicked way more than he was dishing out. Condit decisively won this fight.

No rematch required. Diaz can go back and fight hacks in SF.

Exactly what I saw to.
Diaz has shit footwork and is slow as hell. Condit was the much faster fighter and was lighting Diaz up with some solid strikes.
Don't make me swing on you bro
One way to solve it, we gotta wait till the blue ray comes out.

I guess mostly everyone looked down on condits fighting. I mean you have two of UFCs top fighters looking for a title, there should have been a lil more fire works, just seemed like Diaz wanted to throw down but Condit wanted to play it safe, maybe Condit thought that would be the only way to win the match. Loved the Condit/Hardy fight though.

Rematch is required to much critism
if it were to happen i wonder i condit would fight the same fight, stick an move (run) or would th pressure from the fans make him stay in the pocket.
I am so tired of GJ fighters winning on points. Fuck it let condit fight gsp and get wrestle fucked all day long. Does anyone really see condit posing a threat, snooze fest.
Even if condit rematches diaz i see more of the same. Diaz literally bitch slapped condit during the fight, it was awesome, he was not elusive, and diaz landed hard shots at times. Also ive seen a million fights where a take down and body triangle ontop of that wins you a round even if it was at the end. Still livid about this shit, and also condit didnt get jose aldo with his leg kicks so the reporters a dana need to cancel that “look at the fight metrics” shit.
by Stockton Hello on Feb 5, 2012 3:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
i agree with you 100%. condit wouldnt do anything diffrerent if anything he would have to run fast because diaz wouldnt be respecting him at all and would fight carlos to kill him
how do you know condit wouldnt do anything differently and nick would?
nick had 5 rounds to adjust his plan and get the fight to the fucking ground and didnt. quit your fucking whinning. neither fighter finished a close fight
One fighter came to fight and another came to get points
bc Condit can bang and win doing so. I like condit but that was unlike him.
Condit may have landed more strikes but i just did not think it was enough to take the fight bc I thought Diaz had octagon control all 5 rounds. Being a counter striker is one thing but not committing all 5 rounds is something else. I was disappointed that Condit fought that way. I paid for a fight and that wasnt the fight it could of been. This had fight of the year all over it. too bad. I do hope condit whips Georges Ass though.

becasue that fight wasnt what we thought it was gona be, im still disapointed! fukin greg jackson
Yeah I like both fighters and I hate George
But Damn this fight could have been epic! Condit has never fought that way even when he was facing better strikers ie Mcdonald. He could have won in a much better fashion.

i agree with almost everything
except i dont think Diaz had octogon control, if he did he would have been able to stop Condit from countering and circling. Diaz pushed the pace and Condit dictated it. Condit didnt change his game plan for Diaz and Diaz didnt change his for Condit. They are both to blame. Diaz should have taken it to the ground
Condit did change his fighting style for Diaz
which I think is BS. He could of banged all 5 rounds and thats what I thought I was paying for.

Just like witches at black masses

Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
And the stupid thing is condit could have won if he would have fought like he usually does. He didn’t need that shit game plan. And with that game plan he still didn’t beat diaz. I had it 3-2 diaz

Regardless how he won he still clearly won. Rewatch the fight. Diaz was moving forward more, but was not landing with much. Carlos was doing most of the damage. Rounds 1 and 2 were close. 3 4 5 all Condit.

hey prick, next time insist on a dog leash
The Diaz nuthuggers make me laugh
because Condit didnt turn it into a brawl like you all wanted or play into your homeboys game, he now sucks and he ran?? hahahaha
You’re all just like Nick after the fight, throwing your toys out the pram cus he lost boo hoo. It was close Condit won deal with it.
What did you think id look like...

People think Condit won because he didn't get his head ripped off by the lion
you should totally twitter that on your facebook
I would be all for giving credence to the leg kicks
If they actually did something, but Diaz walked through all of them and never flinched. Condit pretty much ran away for 25 minutes. You didn’t miss much.
yes
it is unfortunate, that condit was awarded the judges decision, that that piece of paper is the only thing that says condit “won”… what a sham
you should totally twitter that on your facebook
You can make the case he outpointed him,
But he didn’t win a fight. A sporting contest maybe (still think it was 48-47 Diaz, but it could have been the other way), but that wasn’t a fight.
Better for you to just watch the fight for your self believe me kid.

Please dont do a rematch
The fight was close..not a robbery. Fuckin move on and if they fight again down the road so be it.
most people are upset cause condit implemented a greg jackson stratagey that was smart but not entertaining, not the usual condit fight, shit i was bummed cause i expected a back and forth war, condit was using the cage like a rope bouncing off of it to circle away while nick stalked him down and took alot of leg kicks. only definitive moment i though was when nick took his back in the 5th. a rematch would be nice, i thought rogan was pretty biased toward condit to.
Well said couldnt have said it better myself.

Diaz will still come to fight without much of a gameplan imo
and Condit will work on improving that gameplan for Diaz.
I hope the rematch doesn’t happen yet if it happens.
5-2, undefeated and undisputed, beat me ... if you can.

Would be worth the buy along with another stellar card, BUT Condit WON that fight and judges are irrelevant on this one…..

come on CONDIT WON THAT FIGHT !!!
it would be stupid with a rematch. condit won that fight and he didnt ran. he just use his foot work to overcome diaz style. and that was brilliant to watch. so stop crying.
and if they decides to do a rematch condit gonna woop his ass one more time. so you guys need to have you polishing cloth ready to wipe your nose!!!!!!!
Id rather have a rematch and watch condit ko diaz than the way this match ended.

I dont want to see these two go at it again
It was a painful fight to watch.
I’d rather see Diaz fight the Ellenberger/Sanchez loser, then get a title shot from whoever wins the GSP/Condit fight.
Boozer sucks.
This makes the most sense imo
Everyone else has had to earn their way back to the top Diaz should be no exception.
Except for maybe Kenny Florian…
This is a terrible idea.
If Diaz gets a rematch I guess that means if you whine and complain enough you can get what you want.
Kinda sets a bad precedent.
if he gets a rematch
i think itll be because the mma community is whining for it, alot of people werent pleased with the fight period, if its generating this much buzz afterward the ufc will put it on again.
Not if majority agree to a rematch.

Is the mma community whining about it?
I think Diaz fanboys are the only whiners here, its just that they are currently whining louder and more frequently than anyone else. I honestly believe the majority of mma fans think Condit won that fight, and at the very least it wasn’t a robbery. Hell i bet Diaz to win and I think he lost
Why would Condit fans be bitching?
He won the contest on the judges scorecard. People are bitching because one guy came to fight and the other ran around for 25 minutes doing everything in his power not to engage. I would have been fine with Diaz losing, I just paid to see a fight, and I sure as hell didn’t see one.
doubt that
you shouldn’t have thought

i agree its took some of the gloss off the gsp/condit fight for sure
more people will be tuning in to see how gsp fights after his injury more than the spectacle itself.Of that im sure.

"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
I wanted to see the Diaz/GSP tilt
But if Diaz couldn’t have pulled off the win, I can’t see why people just cannot accept that. If the fight was that close, it would have been a SD so obviously they saw something in the fight for the scoring. But I agree, we know that GSP will lay on Condit for a full 5 rounds as Condit’s ground game is not as good as Nick’s. I will be watching to see how he comes back from the injury just exactly as you stated.

Fair point I wasn't necessarily framing the comment in terms of Diaz vs. Condit fans
For me every fight doesn’t need to be a wild brawl, I was impressed that Condit beat Diaz standing. I have less of an issue with people who didn’t like the fight, but most of the complaining I have seen on here seems like sad Diaz fans not sad fight fans
i agree man
i think we were expecting a faster paced fight with more big shots instead of being so technical, i like both fighters i was just bummed by the fight itself the stratagey was great just not as entertaining and not as condit like. he slick with those kicks though
I'm a huge Diaz fan
But I’m a fight fan first. The reason I like Nick is you can almost guarantee that any fight he is in is going to be good. I thought the same with Condit until last night. What I saw is one guy not willing to engage, and that’s what pissed me off. One was trying for points and the other was looking to fight. I think winning a title that way sets a bad precedent.
True Dat
thats why i personally was bummed because condit didnt bring it like he always does, greg jackson made a good gameplan for his fighter, which turned out not to be good for us. shit was depressing almost. not waht i expected at all
Maybe but it just didnt look respectable for condit fighting the way he did.

of course dana wants a rematch
there’s more money in a diaz vs gsp fight.
life is a hypocrite if i can't live the way it moves me.
My first thought this morning was there would be a rematch
GSP won’t be back for at least 6 months. Diaz needs to find a new strategy next time though. Coming straight at a strategic fighter like Condit won’t work. As much as I hate to admit it, Condit was great in his execution. So boring though – courtesy of the Jackson camp.
They should start subtracting $ for guys who don’t finish. There needs to be better incentive to finish (beyond the normal ones).
Hmm.. deducting money if theres no finish? Im not sure about that.

Okay i never look at twitter but i checked out both diaz brother’s after thefight and so far dan henderson, marloes conhen, rhonda rhousey, jens pulver, various others scored it diaz. Condit fanboys can use the recent diaz hype train to say people are whining but the decision was garbage and i trust actually mma fighters opinions to you trolling condit jockies. Props to all the people who posted in here with sound reasoning and didnt result to kleenex pictures and hilarious accusations that condit “clearly” won.

Some pros are saying different:
@JoeLauzon
I eagerly await fight metrics for this fight… I thought Diaz won that all night long.
@TimKennedyMMA
I HATE judges! @ufc
@patmiletich
That decision was an absolute joke. At best, Condit won 2 rounds.
@Jens_Pulver
Diaz wins via ring generalship, one moving forward, one moving
backward. Ala delahoya vs Trinidad in my opinion, it’s 3 opinions that
judge
@mattlindland
Great fight Diaz 1,2,5 Condit 3,4
@mark_munoz
Gr8 fight! Think Diaz 4 rounds to 1. We’ll see! #ufc143
@TheCodyMcKenzie
Wow really goes to show you how bad these judges suck Carlos ran the entire time
@joshneer
Wow. Nick got robbed 4-1 diaz. Carlos was doing the Forrest Gump #runforestrun
@RondaRousey
If I wanted to see a man run for 25 minutes I’d go to a track meet. Diaz is the real champ, what a bulls*** fight
@CungLe185
I meant Diaz rounds 1,2 & 5 and Condit 3 & 4
@EllenbergerMMA
You got to be kidding me…
@thugjitsumaster
I wanted Nick to win but there’s no way Condit won 4 rds backing up
Wow they sound like me after the fight. That was a bs decision and that fight sucked because Carlos acted like a Greg Jackson team member and NOT NBK

This..^^^ When Carlos fought Hardy I was pulling for Hardy. Carlos smoked him no doubts about it. He fought Hardy like a natural born killer, if he had fought Nick the same way and won I wouldnt have a problem with it.
After last night he is no longer the NBK but the natural born runner!

OMG STOP THE PRESS...
Cody McKenzie and Matt Lindland think Diaz won…. Seriously who gives a shit about 75% of the fighters you listed?! lol
Half are Strikeforce fighters and Neer and Rousey trained with the Diaz’s… May as well go to Lodi and ask who won the fight its that biased lol

Sore looser
Was disappointed in Diaz what a sore looser. Can understand he was frustrated cause Condit frustrated him for 5 rounds, he didn’t play Diaz’s game and brawl with him, managed to ignore the disrespectful taunts that he does and stick to his plan. Though must admit I wanted Carlos to stand and bang, fight was also frustrating for us cause the way Carlos fought.
The only reason Dana is talking rematch is because Carlos Won.
If the Same fight was fought but the decision went the other way, everybody would be saying how Nick is just a better fighter and edged out a win, and Carlos needs some more experience under his belt.
What a joke.
So when was the last time there's been a fight for the WW strap
without people whining about how boring it was?

Carlos was one of the few fighters outta Jacksons that I actually like because he never point fought.
I guess when money is on the line Greg gets his fighters to do what he wants. I am more disappointed how Carlos fought than I am Nick lost.

Sounds like a convenient excuse to have another crack at setting up Diaz vs GSP
Condit must be pretty sick and tired of getting fucked over by now.

I dont even give two shits about what the pro athletes say, it’s just to show you that fighters who know a shit ton more than the keyboard fanboy warriros on here do think the fight was judged wrong. I know what happened, I watched the fight dead sober, read the fight metrics. It’s really doesn’t matter the decision has been made. It’s been mentioned in previous fights (machida/rua) the officiating in mma needs to be addressed.
It’s not even because of the “exciting” fight aspect, I don’t mind watching people wrestle as long as they stay active. BJJ is amazing to watch but if you are just laying on a guy grinding out a decision then it’s not what the sport should be. Who really wants to see condit vs gsp or gsp vs anyone for that matter. I respect both the fighters but wouldn’t even want to watch a fight between the two. Oh suddenly condits gonna come out and be that natural born killer and lay it to gsp, my fucking ass. He’d play it even safer than the diaz fight, enjoy watching that.
I really wish they would have called it a draw, I had diaz winning but I see now in retrospect some of the people’s points, but there’s no way in hell condit cleared that fight by UD, you gotta be off your rocker and a relative of mr Peebles
